Gebbia made a business decision.
Had Frost & Co handled the situation like a lot of other successful coaches, he'd probably still be here
You mean not talented enough to be a scholarship quarterback of a power 5 college football team? Good job, you are like 99% of the other parents of the world. Gebbia exercised his right that he earned, no different than a pro ball player exploring his free agency options.
Gebbia is not a quitter, he stepped up and made the obvious decision after NU changed coaches. If he left on the coach that recruited him you might have a point.
And a prideful statement about yourself is not pertinent to who Gebbia is. Have you ever met him?
Why would you call Gebbia a quitter? He wants to play. If Adrian was a junior, maybe Gebbia would have stayed. These guys are only young once. I've been out of H.S for over forty years and I miss playing football.
I understand this… But I think posts that have this slant unfairly give this young man a pass.
Here’s what I’m saying, take
any other position on the football team… And go to the number two guy in the depth chart at that position. Let’s say that the number two guy has NFL aspirations… And he feels that sitting in the number two spot unfairly restraints and restrict him from a possible NFL career and of course the money that comes with that.
… What would happen if we “allowed mentally" to "give a pass" to every player that may have the same attitude that this young man had?
. Are we willing to give everybody the same wide berth? I.e.… If you do not get the position you think you deserve… Or the one most beneficial to you… Simply pick up your ball and go to another place…under the guise that "its what's right for ME..."
Would not that ANY other players reasoning be just as “understandably self-serving” as this young man’s?
What a complete disaster sports would be… Especially college football.
I think there is much more to be said on the subject… (but I will end my respectful thoughts with this).....More to be said, Especially concerning
sticking it out when things aren’t going your way… And the benefit that life brings you when you have that kind of dedication and tenaciousness. I truly think that when you cut and run in anything that you’ve "committed to" regardless if it is a football team or you name it… You do your self and your life a vast and lasting disservice.
Just my opinion.
Go Big Red!
